Fool’s Gold was established by artists Meredith Christine and Michael Murphy in MC’s Austin apartment, where she somehow managed to a) drag a laser engraver (bought with student loans) up three flights of stairs, b) not die from improperly venting the fumes out of a sliding glass balcony door and c) make, pack and ship everything from a 6 ft square area in her bedroom. Originally going by the brand name ‘Diamonds Are Evil’, the goal was to apply a mix of traditional and modern techniques to industrial materials to create cool shit that didn’t rely on unethical diamonds, gemstones and metals. A tragic stroke of bad luck caused the domain name to be lost to a lab-grown diamond company (?!?!) which prompted the name change to ‘Fool’s Gold’.
While ever-evolving with new materials, technology and aesthetic exploration, the styles embrace both striking textures and a modern urban aesthetic. With a cult following for the brand’s bold statement pieces, the collection has since evolved to include signature themes and exclusive custom designs.
